Why?
It amazes me that whomever wrote this doesn’t understand Joe Biden has already done what he can do. He had Blinken talk with Lavrov to make a deal and Russia didn’t like the deal at this point.
Blinken then tried to get the Germans to turn over a Russian prisoner as part of the deal the Russians requested and so far the Germans said no.
Goofy fool Griner is going to have to be patient and she could ask Blinken to quit insulting the people who he wants to deal with. It isn’t helpful under the circumstances.
Maybe a couple yeaars in the prison will mellow Griner out and make her more appreciative.
